Often times building on the skills they learned at Riesentöter Driver Education events, members club race with PCA to test their driving skills and race craft in actual wheel-to-wheel race competition—passing down the straights, braking late into a corner, or anywhere else on track—all without the agreement of the overtaken driver as is required in a DE event.

The combination of national rules, national licensing, the national committee and the enthusiastic and dedicated host Region volunteers has allowed PCA club racing to build a strong racing program while rigorously adhering to these principles.
PCA members without an existing competition license must apply for and attend a PCA Club Racing School held in conjunction with most PCA club races. The application requires that the applicant (i) present evidence of having completed twelve (12) or more days of Drivers Education events or race track driving training, time trials, race schools or equivalent events within the past 24 months, (ii) provide a signed certification from his or her Region’s Chief Instructor or equivalent, (iii) submit a favorable report of a medical examination and (iv) pay the applicable fee.
With these requirements fulfilled, the applicant will be permitted to attend a Club Racing School as part of a Club Race weekend. Upon successful completion of a Club Racing School, the member will be granted a PCA Club Racing Rookie License and will be cleared to race that same weekend. After successful completion of four (4) incident free events within two years, the member will be granted a Full License.
Interested members are encouraged to visit the Club Racing section of the PCA website for complete information about Club Racing rules and procedures.
